Eukwasan.com ads (Free Instructions)

What is Eukwasan.com ads?

Eukwasan.com ads often show links to malicious websites

Eukwasan.com is a fake website that sends users dangerous ads via the push notification feature

Have you been suffering from Eukwasan.com ads that randomly show up on your screen? Don't worry because there are plenty of other users who experienced the exact same thing. The issues prevail on various platforms, such as Windows, macOS, Android, as well as affect numerous browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, MS Edge, Safari, and others.

Regardless of whether you are browsing your favorite websites or watching a video, Eukwasan.com pop-ups might show up at any time, as long as the browser is running or idling in the background. Since these push notifications cover all the other running apps, the activity can be particularly intrusive and cause a lot of frustrations to users.

However, the worst part about the whole ordeal is the contents of these prompts. While some notifications can advertise some types of products or even legitimate websites, most ads are something users would rather not see, as the presented content is misleading and sometimes even malicious. For example:

• Get-rich-quick^[1] schemes. These scams manifest themselves in telling a fake story of some type of local celebrity who managed to get rich within weeks or even days by investing a small sum to this seemingly amazing offer. This is also followed by fake Facebook messages and fake bank account statements.
• Fake virus infection prompts are very common when it comes to online scams in general. Users are told that their systems have been infected with a virus, that particular software needs to be downloaded to eradicate them, or that an alleged tech support number must be called.
• Links to insecure websites can be of any content, including of sexual nature. In many cases, these websites might not only be offensive to some but also cause security issues.

It is also important to note that redirects to phishing, scam, or similar malicious websites and an increased number of advertisements might be a clear indication of the adware infection, so it is vital to check the system for that as well.

How push notification scams operate

Overall, the security of the online sphere has been drastically improved over the past two decades – the internet search engines are much more advanced in filtering out the inappropriate or even dangerous results. Likewise, security vendors have been working on new methods on how to catch malware and scams before they manage to harm users with the help of advanced technologies such as machine learning.^[2]

However, despite the efforts, plenty of malicious websites intend to scam people in various ways or make them install malware on their devices. Unfortunately, the internet is simply way too vast, so every website and page would be regulated and terminated in time by network providers.

The truth is, Eukwasan.com is just one of the hundreds of thousands of websites created to scam users into subscribing to push notifications. While this scam is nowhere near as dangerous as malicious spam email attachments that carry ransomware^[3] payloads, for example, it is still a malicious endeavor that shouldn't be underestimated.

One link click might result in malware infections under certain circumstances, and push notifications from websites like Arriedstro.work, Mydesktopdefence.com, or Yflexibilituky.co can bring plenty of those to your desktop. Thus, it is vital not to click any links provided by it, even if the offer seems attractive.

So, how do these scams work? As we already mentioned, users might get to malicious websites thanks to an adware installed o their systems or by clicking a link on a high-risk website. As soon as they land on Eukwasan.com they see what seems to be a simple prompt which as users press the “Allow” button within it. This is a bad idea though.

Users can often be caught off guard and not consider the possibility that the messages they encounter on the site might be fake, thinking that it is a simple request. For example, they might see the following:

Click Allow if you are not a robot

Since many websites ask users to verify that they are not a robot by either selecting correct images or typing in the captcha code, many might believe that technique here is to press the “Allow” within the prompt. In other cases, users might be promised a video or 18+ content in return. Unfortunately, this action would immediately allow the website to send push notifications without any restrictions.

Various phishing messages are used to make users subscribe to push notifications

Nothing really happens when either of the buttons is pressed (although users might be redirected to a similar malicious website), so most people do not think much about it and forget the incident completely, only later to find out that their desktops are spammed with intrusive pop-ups. Luckily, removing them is not that difficult within the web browser settings.

One more step to security

While it is true that Eukwasan.com ads are not directly related to any infections and are a separate issue, we strongly recommend checking your system for adware. Potentially unwanted software is extremely common, and many users are not even aware that they have it installed on their systems.

This happens because adware and other PUPs are commonly spread via deceptive methods, such as software bundling, fake updates, misleading ads, and similar. Besides, some third-party software might be adware in disguise, and one might not be aware of its side effects, such as intrusive ads or browser redirects.

Therefore, we recommend you employ SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner, Malwarebytes, or another powerful security software, bring it to the latest version and perform a full system scan with it. This would guarantee that no malicious software is installed on your device and your information, files, and computer integrity are intact. Speaking of which, if anti-virus software indeed finds malware or aggressive adware, we also advise using FortectIntego to properly clean browser caches and repair any damage that could have been caused to system files by the infection.
